    RadScheduler for ASP.NET AJAX - Improvements to provider interface in Q3 2010

    The Q3 release RadControls will come packed with shiny features and a couple of new controls, but that’s not all! We’ve fiddled with the complex machinery under the hood and made it better too. Let me introduce you the new and improved provider interface (ABC, actually) for RadScheduler: public abstract class SchedulerProviderBase : ProviderBase {     public virtual IEnumerable<Appointment> GetAppointments(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual IDictionary<ResourceType, IEnumerable<Resource>> GetResources(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo) { }     public virtual void Insert(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToInsert) { }     public virtual void Update(ISchedulerInfo schedulerInfo, Appointment appointmentToUpdate) { }    ...

    Blend, DevConnections, and Lighting Up The Web

    Hey Telerik Developers! I wanted to write a slightly out-of-band post to mention some of the speaking engagements that I will have over the next few months, covering a wide range of topics in the Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 space. First up, Telerik is pleased to host Expression Blend for Silverlight Developers, a one hour webinar being presented on October 21st aimed at helping the Telerik Developer Community (and for that matter, everyone using Silverlight, WPF, or Windows Phone 7) to learn a little bit more about Expression Blend and how it can fit into our daily development workflows.  You can...

    RadChart for Silverlight in ASP.NET MVC Application

    The purpose of this blog post is to show how to incorporate RadChart for Silverlight in an ASP.NET MVC application. Manol has already shown how to do this for ASP.NET and things are not much different for ASP.NET MVC. Let’s start with a simple Silverlight application with a single RadChart. For simplicity, I will populate it with a list of numbers, you can also use any of the techniques, supported by RadChart. The code is as simple as this XAML: <telerik:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" /> And C#: RadChart1.ItemsSource = new double[] { 3d, 4d, 6d };   I will create two write-only properties of the Silverlight user control -- ShowItemLabels and SeriesType. They are marked with  ScriptableMemberAttribute so...

    Using nested complex objects with ASP.NET MVC editor templates

    This may be common knowledge but I failed to quickly find the relevant info when it hit me. In short the default editor template generated by ASP.NET MVC 2 ignores any nested complex properties of your model. Here is a short example which demonstrates the case:   Model: public class Customer{ public int ID { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public Address Address { get; set; }} public class Address{ public string Street { get; set; } public string City { get; set; }} Controller: public class HomeController : Controller{ // // GET: /Home/ public ActionResult Index() { return View(new Customer { ...
